 When I tried to add a new Yahoo buddy today to my pidgin session on
 Ubuntu Jaunty, the session crashed.    I ran Synaptic to uninstall
 everything to do with pidgin and purple and then I installed pidgin
 again - Synaptic brought back purple as a requirement of that install.

 deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/pidgin-developers/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main

 is what's in sources.list.d/pidgin-ppa.list

 Then I started pidgin again, but from a command line.

 When I tried to add the new buddy again, the xterm window indicated the
 pidgin process died with a segmentation fault.

 The only visual irregularity I noticed is that in the add buddy dialog
 box there's an arrow for a drop-down to select the group to add the
 buddy to, but there's no box to display what I selected from the drop
 down list.
